About Edison Home Health Care
For the past 15 years, Edison Home Health Care has been delivering compassionate care to hundreds of patients in New York City and Nassau County. From providing support with daily activities to offering occupational therapy, Edison's interdisciplinary team of professionals and paraprofessionals work tirelessly to create personalized plans for the elderly and disabled.
The Challenge
Edison Home Health Care had been dealing with the same old manual employee directory for years, it was labor-intensive work and no amount of development would resolve the painful workflow.
The existing tool was not only leaving a large amount of admin overhead on the shoulders of their HR, but it wasn't compatible with the company's existing Active Directory. To make matters worse, employees weren't keen on using it either due to the monthly email blasts. It was clear that a change had to be made soon and Edison Home Health Care was ready to face the challenge.
“We were working with a directory that came out monthly in an email blast. It was created by our HR department and edited manually every month” says Neil Bodner, Operations Manager at Edison Home Health Care.
